Dev Update! 8/5/25
Hey, folks! Hope you're all doing well this week! I've just logged into the ol' Patreon and I see my dashboard looks different and there's some new features.. I feel like this happens a few times a year now, and I'm no longer surprised. :'D
I've been working on placing renders, and doing "pick-up" renders, for most of the day. Right now, my immediate plans are still to try to finish compiling the remaining Season One material, so everyone can get their save files update. That'll be published for everyone as soon as it's ready. My secondary goal is to get the new Season Two material (700~ images) added to the Season One material.
Buuut, I'm trying to basically create a second game for Season Two, which will load all the variables from Season One, allowing me to avoid having a giant file size as I continue to build onto it. I'm encountering some difficulties though, so.. We'll see.
My backup plan is to get a standalone teaser made for the new Season Two stuff, as I've been doing, just to make sure my high-tier supporters get new content to playtest. Then I'll work on getting all the Season One stuff added except for the very end, which will prompt all the variables that need to be carried over.
If that sounds confusing, just uhhhhh.. Trust me? :'D I'm basically taking steps to get content into everyone's hands ASAP, without causing myself a big headache later.
Otherwise, not too much to report at the moment! I recently had to sit down and write the big montage designed to advance the story, while touching on all the love interests. I've mentioned this in a paywalled post, but I'd previously just had a note in the script there saying that's where the montage went, and.. Boy, past-Neon really did future-Neon dirty. But it's done, as are the images, and I think it'll be pretty cool -- if nothing breaks.
I don't want to spoil too much, but I just really like the vibe of the whole thing. We get to see our (not always so) lovable hero forced into a situation that's a little uncomfortable for him, I get to smooth out some plot details with a few sentences rather than an extended in-game sequence, and the whole thing will serve as a really nice little catch-up for everyone.
Besides all that, I'm kicking around some ideas re: changes here, in terms of weekly posts. Haven't made any decisions yet, but as always I'll keep you folks in the loop.
Until then, take care of yourselves -- and thank you for your support!

If you haven't already, you might check out Mr. Rooster's Wartribe Academy and Wartribe Alliances. Academy is part 1, but the saves from the end of it can be imported into Alliances within the second game. It even tells you the tracked variable(s) of each save so you can choose which path to start in Part 2. It's a pretty clever setup! Another you could look at is The Fiery Scion, by Vanderer. He's broken his game up into 3rds, and they all save to a single, unified place. This has the advantage of just loading a save like normal when you start the next game, but the downside that your save slots can wind up being a bit of a mess, and replayability can be hampered.
Damn Cassie Bringing girls over already huh? Dude I don’t know what you’ll have planned for her to meet Nicki but as I say in every comment hopefully she can’t keep her hands to herself. Butt slapping and grabbing to the max lol.
If season 2 will be it's own thing please make sure that it is it's own app and doesn't overwrite the original. It is such a pain to delete and re-download to replay the beginning. Thanks and can't wait!
Will do! 🤝
